I also met youmechooz, and he said jsilverjanet had just been by!

 

He hooked me up, so thank you Jason! Now go find that ms Marvel 1!

[N/A]

Jason rocks!!

[Bird]

I was there to drop off 8 books for onsite grading but decided to go all in with a nice shiny new blank and get my first cover sketch for SS. It should be sweet. No more for now though about that.

 

I did get these four books at the show as well.

 

 

 

Not as many booths with comic books as I would have liked and very little OA that i noticed. Lots of stuff, prints and toys and shirts and stuff.

 

edited to add: no need to blow it up, that sticker on the SW8 says $50 and no I did not pay that.

Anyone selling statues?

[PeasOfCrap]

Did people get onsites back today?

[Taco]

Wow. Some people were angry. On site grading got cut off at 4 o'clock (the show opened at 3). Apparently they already graded several hundred issues (I think it was 600 when I stopped by at the end).

 

Good luck to everyone who are getting signatures tomorrow. I hope your artist is there early and on site is still open by the time they finish.

[Doktor]

I didn't get my onsite's back today but I'll probably get them tomorrow or saturday. I dropped mine at about 1:40. They started accepting for anyone already inside (read: vendors) at 1:30 but apparently also accepted some yesterday as well during the first round of load-in.

[jsilverjanet]

I was told they had 500 before 3

[Taco]

They had or they graded? 600 was the graded number.

 

They aren't opening up early for dealers tomorrow because I asked if I could still drop off early. And they said noon, but you can line up and wait.

[jsilverjanet]

Had been submitted

[revat]

First day should be a lot of subs as most dealers do it thAt day. Sat is too crowded. Fri is the sweet spot for on site subs, good luck

[Taco]

Last year they cut off Saturday evening.

 

But this year has all the dealers who went to Heroes last year.

[Bird]

Is onsite cutoff yet? Are they accepting onsite tomorrow? Any knowledge would be appreciated

I did SS stuff around 1:15 and they told me I needed to hurry if I wanted to get it in. That's the last I stopped over.

[jsilverjanet]

told me I needed to hurry if I wanted to get it in. .

 

that's what she said

 

[wombat]

Just got home. Had a really good time. Huge thanks to Jason for hooking me up. Very much appreciated. I met Robbie briefly as he was setting up. Spoke with Doktor for a few minutes. Seems like a very cool guy. I also met facilitator Doug (dscott). Dropped off a book he is going to get signed for me next week in Atlantic City. Another cool guy.

 

My only regret was not having more money.

[Beamer]

What's Rob's charge for a headsketch?

Thanks for the info. I think I will bring the books anyway, only 5 to add to my 5 SS. Thanks to youmechooz I can be there early (Thanks again Jason, donuts coming in the am) so my hope is that they planned to take more books on Saturday.. I will submit either way, if they get onsite even better.

There is a Dunkin Donuts a block from the convention center. 11th and Market I think.

Dunkin Donuts? PFAH! There is a donut place in Market Street Station or whatever it is called and they look crazy good - salted caramel, peanut butter cream, and stuff like that!
